Recently I went on a skiing holiday to the French Alps to a place near Chamonix called Notre Dame de Bellecombe. We spent most of our time on the blue runs in Notre Dame de Bellecombe on Mont Rond. There were many good runs with challenging red runs and blue runs as well as simple green runs for beginners and black runs with moguls.
We also went to Crest Voland a village round the corner from where we were staying, there on Mont Lachat there were even better runs with longer relaxing green runs to the blue runs that carried you down the mountain. There were no Black runs here but there was a bar and restaurant you could ski to if you wanted a snack or drink.
We also went to Les Saises which was a more touristy place but it was obvious why as the snow was much deeper there. The runs were a lot easier than I had expected with the red runs being more like blue runs and the blues like greens. But was still a great day skiing.
The Best runs in this area though were:
- Mont Rond - Red Run - Notre Dame de Bellecombe
- Bleue de Lac - Blue Run - Notre Dame de Bellecombe
- La Criee - Blue Run - Crest Voland
- Les Deserts - Green Run - Crest Voland
- Grande Combe - Blue Run - Les Saises
- Chevreuills - Red Run - Les Saises
